GENERAL TRIAS CITY, CAVITE — Sports and lifestyle offerings in Cavite are getting a massive upgrade! Megaworld Corporation has officially sealed an exciting partnership with the sports and lifestyle group, Villaroman Golf Academy (VGA), to build a state-of-the-art sports and wellness sanctuary right in the heart of the 140-hectare Megaworld Maple Grove township in General Trias City. Spanning an impressive 2.7 hectares, this upcoming premier facility is set to become the ultimate destination for seasoned athletes, weekend warriors, and active families alike.
Guided by a Philippine Golf Legend
At the helm of this prestigious facility is none other than head coach and founder Carito Villaroman. A legendary former touring professional, Villaroman has famously mentored world-class Filipino golfing icons like Yuka Saso and Bianca Pagdanganan. The academy will offer structured, professional coaching programs engineered for all skill tiers—guiding pure beginners stepping onto the turf for the first time all the way to elite competitive golfers looking to sharpen their edge. Plus, as a Games and Amusements Board (GAB) accredited institution, the academy will also serve as a national hub to certify professional golf coaches across the Philippines.
A Masterclass in Sports Innovation
The incoming facility goes way beyond your standard driving range. It is meticulously designed to replicate actual tournament conditions, giving players an elite edge in their training. Sports enthusiasts can look forward to a 50-Bay Driving Range where they can perfect their swing across massive driving bays configured with a mix of natural grass and high-quality artificial turf; True-to-Life Practice Terrain that lets players sharpen their short game on meticulously maintained surfaces that mimic fairways, roughs, and actual sand bunkers; High-Tech Golf Simulators with state-of-the-art simulators and hitting bays that provide real-time swing analytics; and Tournament-Grade Pickleball Courts featuring three professional-grade courts built for both casual matches and competitive local tournaments, diving into the fastest-growing racket sport in the world.
More Than Just a Sports Complex: A Lifestyle Destination
Villaroman Golf Academy at Maple Grove is positioning itself as a complete social and wellness hub. After a rigorous training session or a fast-paced pickleball game, visitors can wind down at the premium players' lounge, break a sweat at the golf-specific fitness gym, or browse the latest gear at the sports retail zone. Foodies will also have plenty to celebrate, as the complex will feature its own vibrant restaurant, sports bar, and aesthetic café—making it the perfect weekend hangout spot for friends and family.
Elevating the 'BGC of Cavite'
Often dubbed the "BGC of Cavite," Maple Grove continues to cement its reputation as a forward-thinking, master-planned community. This mega-sports facility seamlessly joins the township's growing lifestyle lineup, which already boasts wide open spaces for jogging and cycling, a futsal field, and the popular The Tent at Maple Grove. Conveniently located along Governor's Drive with seamless access to Metro Manila via CAVITEX and CALAX, unwinding and staying active has never been closer to home. Get your clubs and paddles ready—the next era of Cavite sports is officially on its way!
